COVID-19-Update: Temporary Manufacturing Plant Closure

April 14, 2020

Dear
Valued Customer,

I hope this letter finds you well. This
continues to be a unique and challenging time for our country. Things seem to
change daily, and I wanted to provide you an update from HTPG and our business
as we continue to support you. First, we did have our first positive COVID-19
results in the plant this week at Scottsboro. We are shutting the plant down to
disinfect and our plan is to remain down for the remainder of the week to
insure we have a safe environment and ample staff to support customer needs. We
will resume operations on Monday, 4/20/20 in Scottsboro. In the meantime, we will
continue to take care of our customer needs;

Our Sales team is still engaged with your teams to work
quotes, answer questions, provide training and any other needs your teams may
have.

Our other distribution centers in Dallas, Texas and
Ontario, Calif. will continue to operate as normal during this week.

The Customer Service and Application Engineering teams
are not impacted and will be available as usual.

Much of our workforce is working remotely and will not be
impacted by this short plant reset.

We
have a great team that is doing an excellent job in remaining flexible and
doing the right things to keep effectively serving our customers while keeping
our employees safe in these challenging times.
